    Hi,

    Have firefly running on my Windows XP machine, but it is serving songs that are actually on a linux machine.
    So I figured why not run it on the linux machine directly. It’s a ClarkConnect 3.2 box with a couple of add-ons.

    So I went to RPM find and searched for ‘firefly’ but that turned up nothing.
    So I remembered this server used to be called mt-daap so I searched for that and found:

    mt-daapd-0.2.4-1.fc4.i386.rpm

    Tried to install it but it told me I was missing stuff.
    So I patiently installed it all(
    howl-0.9.8-3.i386.rpm
    howl-libs-0.9.8-3.i386.rpm
    libid3tag0-0.15.1b-4mdk.i586.rpm
    libid3tag-0.15.1-3.b.i386.rpm
    )
    The I could finally install mt-daapd.
    Started it and the webpage came up but nothing was served.
    By coincidence I found out that I had to start
    nifd
    mDSNResponder
    also by running
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/nifd start
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/mDNSResponder start
    And now it servs songs well πŸ™‚
    (kinda hoping the fact that the files are in rc.d/init.d means they will start at bootup??)

    But what version am I running now? Is 0.2.4.1 of daap the same as 0.2.4.1 of firefly? Do I have the same functionality as on my WIndows XP version?

    EDIT: except for the fact that my SOundBridge doesn’t recognise it as compatible server πŸ™

    0.2.4.1 is a very old version and requires a daap compatible SoundBridge.
    Pinnacle branded SoundBridges are not daap compatible.

    You would need to install a nightlies version

    Right… 0.2.x doesn’t have rsp, that’s only in the nightlies. And I don’t have RPMs for those yet.

    So what’s keeping you? πŸ˜‰

    Just kidding. My ClarkConnect doesnt have C-compiler so really need RPMs to install anything and even then it takes me some time to meet dependencies.

    Is it hard to create an RPM from source files? I really have no idea.

    Seriously? The fact that it’s an itch I don’t have.

    Not really. It takes a RHEL4/CENTOS4 box, a specfile and about 15 minutes.

    I have the specfile if you want it.

    I’m re-reading this but do I understand correctly that basically, if I want support for my Soundbridge I need a nightlies version?
    The stable version doesn’t support it either?
    Because when I look at downloads, stable, all I see is a tarball 0.2.4.1, which would be the same as the daapd RPM I used?

    I never checked which version for Windows I was running, I downloaded it from the Roku website.//
